During her one-year tenure at PHD UK, she has been instrumental in driving growth in new business opportunities by establishing strong client relationships and fostering inter-agency collaboration. Her excellent interpersonal skills have allowed her to strengthen key relationships with stakeholders across the Omnicom Group, resulting in a stream of new business collaborations. Dalkaji’s ability to identify opportunities, lead conversations, and create new frameworks is already showing a significant impact on the team and the rest of the business.
